Isn't that the one where one of the conditions of the free prom dress is that you have to take Jake to the prom? He's in a bottle, except, of course, when some joker unscrews the lid and Jake the Kid runs amuck with an ice pick, killing dozens of teenagers and weird chaperons and teachers.

EyeballKid:And if your prom date tells you about the dress she got from a charity centered around a dead baby, you can pretty much kiss those chances of getting any buh-bye.

Nope, you tell her you were sent by God or that you're an angel on a mission to bring "Jake" back no matter how many times and sexual positions you two will have to perform to make it happen while video taping it for proof. And the anal sex is just to stretch out her muscles.

Inspired by a true story, I hear.

The girls can get the dresses, but they have to come over to the lady's house and look into the jake jar and thank him. The rest of the visit is uneventful, but no matter how they try to rationalize it, they can never quite convince themselves they didn't see jake move, just a little bit.

Smeggy Smurf:A bit unconventional but what the hell. It beats the broad drowning herself in booze.

It's a little more... colorful.. than I'd have phrased it, but otherwise, this. Not the sort of coping mechanism one sees everyday, but I can't bring myself to complain. Helping people feels good; it's no surprise that many people hitting low points in their lives would throw themselves into that task, one way or another.

SuperChuck:SevenizGud: FTFA:On May 16, 2012, at just 7 1/2 months old, Jacob died. He was a victim, like thousands of infants each year, of Sudden Unexplained Infant Death Syndrome.

"How do you even begin to cope with that?" his mother asked.

Maybe start by not putting the infant in the crib face down, you FARKing tard.

/she should be in prison

At 7.5 months, the kid is more than capable of lifting his head on his own. It doesn't matter which way you lay him down by that age.

This. There are motion sensors that are sensitive enough to detect when a baby stops breathing. You place it between the mattress and the crib springs, and the sensitivity can be adjusted. Now if she didn't have one of those then she is certainly negligent.

The Evil Home Brewer:Abe Vigoda's Ghost: This is not healthy. It's just really creepy. Hopefully this woman seeks out professional help.

<a target="_blank" data-cke-saved-href="netizencain: Also... attention whore. If she wanted to do something nice she should just do it. Instead of all the fireworks and flags. Nice idea but a bit narcissistic.

I would disagree.... She's coping with her pain in a very creative manner. As for the "fireworks & flags?" Advertising is still the best way to get others to support the cause, advertise it in their own communities, collect clothing donations, perhaps even open up chapters in other communities.

As a father who watched his firstborn die a minute after she was born? I applaud this woman's approach to dealing with grief. I have helped to counsel many people over the years who allow their marriages to fall apart, their relationships to stagnate, and their personal care to become nonexistent because of their terrible loss. This woman is coping by HELPING OTHERS .... Would you prefer if she sought donations to give to a church in her son's name?

THIS

As creepy as it looks in some ways, the important thing is this lady and her hubby are using a creative and helpful outlet to handle their pain. Giving some girls a half decent dress to go to the prom is an interesting charity.

Creepy or not, at least she didn't go postal on others or start kidnapping other people's babies or etc.

netizencain:"Sudden Unexplained Infant Death Syndrome" When did 'unexplained' get added to the soup?

Also... attention whore. If she wanted to do something nice she should just do it. Instead of all the fireworks and flags. Nice idea but a bit narcissistic.

How is she an attention whore? She needs to promote the charity to get more prom dresses donated and reach out to even more kids in need. And with her likes for deeds thing, she gets more ideas on unique ways to help.
